In episode 6, Mitch Wallis speaks to Nick Ward who talks about his struggles with fitting in and we discuss how we both manage intense thoughts and intense emotions particularly as a young person with a brain that feels different to other people, whilst trying to navigate the pressures and realities of school and being a teenager. A great listen if you're going through anything similar or are a parent to a teenager and wanting to better understand the complexities.
This episode covers:
- what being a man means to him, and how we wear a mask to fit in.
- exploring how rewarding yet challenging it is to sit with uncomfortable emotions.
- being the youngest Tropfest finalist in history (the world’s largest short film festival), at the age of just 16. His project was a thought provoking, emotional drama about teenage mental health called 'Boys Don't Cry'.
- tackling the alarming epidemic of depression, anxiety and suicide among young Australians through creative film writing.
- his goal to rewrite the toxic side of the masculine narrative that still permeates young boys today.
